Part 4: How to Remove DRM from iTunes Rentals with Requiem?

The third iTunes DRM removal I want to talk about is Requiem, which can remove FairPlay DRM (created by Apple Inc) from songs, videos, and eBooks purchased on iTunes. It is the best freeware to decrypt Apple's DRM-ed files free from protecting without any loss of quality from the original source file, which had gained quite a bit of popularity among users. However, Requiem has stopped updating since 2012, and Requiem 4.1 was the last version. However, Requiem is not compatible with iTunes 12. If you really want to strip DRM for free with Requiem, then you would have to downgrade your iTunes to Version 10.7 or lower version.

Step 1. Scan iTunes Videos
Kick off Requiem on your computer, and then it will scan your iTunes directory for any protected files and begin to remove the DRM protections. If you get any errors, make sure that you've authorized iTunes and that the videos are playable.

Step 2. Remove DRM
When the DRM removal process is done, Requiem will delete the protected versions of your iTunes videos and replace them with entirely unprotected versions. See? You have successfully removed DRM from iTunes rentals.
